Coriander in a flowerpot

More photos to come…
By titling this post “coriander in a flowerpot” and uploading the above photos, I don’t mean that I will only write about the spicy plant I like very much as garnish and vegetables eaten raw. Lots of thoughts are crowding on me now. And I don’t know where I can begin to write about them.
I placed an order for Harry Potter and Dan Brown (and got them)

I placed an order for two box sets, one containing six Harry Potter books and the other four of Dan Brown’s novels. This order costs me 532 yuan (about USD 70). 
Why so sad? Because this means that I earn Chinese wages to pay for U.K. books: Too EXPENSIVE. Though the money will well match what I’ll get in return.
I’m the kind of people who like buying books more than reading them. More than that, I like owning books better than borrowing them from libraries. I look on books as part of my family, not as come-and-go guests.

Now let me continue with my newly found seven-year’s itch I feel about my work. Last night, it suddenly dawned on me that I’d been working as translator for seven years. As I write this post, I also recall that I kept my last job for three years. I now realize they are the legendary three-year and seven-year itches though they are mostly associated with marriage in my reading. Perhaps, the itches might apply in a much wider area than marriage. As time goes on, people are becoming more and more discontented with themselves and everything and everyone around them. Then, they at least want a break from them.
信不信由我

今早，惊闻最高法说：“承诺不判赖昌星死刑与司法公平无关。”
最高法的新闻发言人说：“倪寿明指出，世界上有许多国家，包括加拿大，废除了死刑。因此，从这些国家遣返嫌犯，当可能导致最终对被遣返人判处死刑时，这些国家就会要求对方国作出不判处死刑的承诺。如果对方国不承诺，遣返要求就会被拒绝。”这么说怕人误解为中国的的贪官再不用判死刑了，有失报道的正确导向，于是另外还有报道说：“最高法：严重经济犯罪仍适用死刑”，说：“根据我国刑法规定，对少数几类严重的经济犯罪可以判处死刑。”
同样两个“严重的经济犯罪”分子，一个跑到可以获得免死金牌的加拿大，另外一个没跑掉，留在了“最高法”必杀之无疑的国内。结果呢，跑掉的活罪难逃，没跑掉的死罪难逃。如果这不跟司法不公有关，不说明司法只是某些人的儿戏，我不知道它还跟什么相关，还能说明什么。难道这是司法公正的象征？能说明国内刑法这“一只鸡下的一黑一白的两个蛋的颜色是一样”的吗？我觉得这两个蛋一个是黑的一个是白的，可是最高法说这两个蛋都是白的，信不信由我。
